Christie Busted: Port Authority Official Says NJ Governor Lied About Lane Closings, "Has Evidence To Prove It"
The sharks are circling Chris Christie who just sprung a bloody leak (either that or the population must really need to be distracted from a horrible January for stocks and what may be coming next). Moments ago the NYT reported that the former Port Authority official who personally oversaw the lane closings on the George Washington Bridge "said that the governor knew about the lane closings when they were happening, and that he had the evidence to prove it." Of course, if such evidence exists, Christie can call it a career after claiming the opposite on numerous occasions in the past month. Of course, one wonders whether Obama would have been impeached by now had the "independent and impartial media" hounded him with the same fervor for his numerous transgressions and repeated lies to the American public. Alas, we will never know the answer.
In a letter released by his lawyer, the official, David Wildstein, a high school friend of Mr. Christie’s who was appointed with the governor’s blessing at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which controls the bridge, described the order to close the lanes as “the Christie administration’s order” and said “evidence exists as well tying Mr. Christie to having knowledge of the lane closures, during the period when the lanes were closed, contrary to what the governor stated publicly in a two-hour press conference” three weeks ago.
“Mr. Wildstein contests the accuracy of various statements that the governor made about him and he can prove the inaccuracy of some,” the letter added.
The letter marked the first signal that Mr. Christie may have been aware of the closings, something he repeatedly denied during a two-hour press conference earlier this month.
One tangential observation is that if the level of circuses, if not so much bread, is picking up to such extensive levels, and the US public is in such dire need of distraction from their everyday lives, then truly something big is about to hit... or this is simply the traditional pre-election circus act designed to set the stage for the grotesque farce that are the midterm elections.

Suspect Wildstein doesn't have career-ending goods on CC. But even without them, this may be a political wound that will not heal.
He better have the evidence, otherwise it gives Christie the chance to say prove it or STFU. If nothing is produced, this could be a win for Christie.
yawn. more red/blue circus to suck the masses in. these politicians are never going to fix the real problems. they are owned. voting is a farce, best not to participate. step back, let it all collapse.
huh, so what if he knew about the closings....i did, too. the question is if he ORDERED them or if he was aware the lanes were closed due to his subordinates' orders.
he should just say "it was the video" and be done with it.
Gees, who would have known or believed it?
It's perfectly okay to pounce on a fat white guy. A skinny black guy? Now that would be racist!
Of course, one wonders whether Obama would have been impeached by now had the "independent and impartial media" hounded him with the same fervor for his numerous transgressions and repeated lies to the American public. Alas, we will never know the answer.
Lol Tyler gotta pay the bills I see.Yeah. O'bomb-a sure followed through on his campaign promises. Especially the ones about transparency, and civil liberties, and ending the "Patriot" Act, and closing Gitmo, ending bailouts, etc. etc... Not to mention the way the balanced, unbiased media have really held his feet to the fire. Fuuuuuuuuuck.
He did not "lie". If you say something over and over enough times it is not a lie. Just ask Barack, Bill, & Hiliary if you don't believe me.
He forgot the cardinal question of modern politics. What does the NSA know about my actions and will they rat me out? Suspect the NSA any time they say they the evidence but won't show it.
And poor Fuddy! The strange radical Indo-slam cult she and Barry's mom belonged to preached that only infidels learn to swim.
This is why I moved to Texas....this blowhard is the best that the GOP in NJ-NY-CT have to offer.
Horrible.
Yeah...
After all Rick Perry is a man to be reckoned with...
Maybe all Christie has to say is the magic words "What differance does it make??!!", and poof!...he gets a free pass.
.....or hold a press conference to announce that he will do the coin flip at the Super Tazon.
How is this even mildly news when we still haven't found out the following about our alleged President.
1)Who forged his birth certificate?
2)Why is Obama using multiple SS#'s including that of a dead man?
3)Who paid for Obama's college costs (any three letter agencies like CIA, CFR etc involved)?
4)Why are his trasnscripts sealed?
5)Who is his real father (compare pictures of Frank Davis (his real father, US communist party bigwig and pornoking) with him at the same age and draw your own conclusions.
6)How did he get the nickname "bathhouse BarrY" and why are so many of his previousl gay friends suffering the fate of Vince Foster?
So, Christie may have caused a traffic tie up? His biggest problem is his appetite and being too fat.
John Coltrane huh?
I know what you are talking about, but nobody will touch that with a 10 foot pole. Everytime it's brought up the messenger either disappears or has a change in stance, either way they won't allow a sitting president (real or not) to be taken down. Also it goes to show you the power, because is true this is the type of blackmail material that people use to control others. Also for them going after Christie (who I believe did all of this), tells me that something major is coming down the pipe and they are running scared.
Saying that they were "just following orders" didn't work for the Nazis at Neuremburg, why does it work for them in New Jersey? Where was that miserble fuck "whistleblower" on the day the sheeple were being punished?
Now that I look back, I realize that a life predicated on being obedient and taking orders is a very comfortable life indeed. Living in such a way reduces to a minimum one's need to think.
Adolf Eichmann
So why is Christie's political career ruined when every other lying SOB politician just moves up in the machine?
The is not a trite missive. Really - why would that be?
good question....he should quickly drive his Oldsmobile off a bridge and drown a young girl....then he could be a 10 term Senator.
At least with Chris Christie, Mary Jo Kopechne would have stayed on the bridge...
+++++
Instead of a young girl could he give a ride to Hillary?...
I think we all know that car would never sink.
Well, witches do float!
and burn
...and very small rocks...
If he's got proof, he better bring it!
"huh, so what if he knew about the closings...."
He said he didn't, that is so what.
True, but it opens the way for a fun show with Jeb Bush making a run for it with his incredibly entertaining family: the daugher in Forever Rehab (but a looker!) and his son, the super-stalker psycho!
Thanks for that happy thought, Sarge.
Write in your vote. TPTB want the collapse so don't hand it to them.
Indeed --- anyone expressing partisan polics on this site should be droned -- or at least banned.
When will these MORONS get it? They are being played ..............
That would eliminate about 85% of the posters...
His career is over for being caught lying?
He is a politician..this only gives him street cred
That repugnant liar in a pants suit has a huge lead in the polls!
I suspect he is not the man they want in a presidential race in a couple of years. Otherwise no one is accountable in politics (and thus your point is correct).
America is probably so disgusted with Obama that they are ready for a right black eye to replace their left black eye. America is also too fat/stupid/complacent to leave the beater BFs...

Yeah, I'm curious as to why Christie is being sacked by TPTB at this moment. What did he do to upset The Establishment? I mean, these "chosen" pols don't get sacked like this unless they said something anti-semitic.
Once in a very long while it isn't by design, just the old, "crap happens" stuff!
Besides, there's always Jeb Bush and Palin.
He represented a clear and credible threat to Hillary in '16. That's all it takes.
Hillary, Christie, what the fuck is the difference?
Hillary, Christie, what the fuck is the difference?
One stands up to take a leak, oh, er,,,?
What do men do standing up, women sitting down and dogs do with 1 leg raised? -- shake hands.
One's a fat, fucking cunt who lied while people died and a politician, the other is a ...? I'm sorry, what was the question?
What did he do to upset The Establishment?
He polled even with the Hilldebeast.
Damn, debt. You're fast!
Like a rocket, I am! Only 50 minutes behind the previous poster.
Wonder who the Bilderbergs choose...!?!
It's all so tragically funny. The sheeple will just be "horrified, horrified I'm telling you," but will go on completely ignoring the blatant and open lies of all the rest. Just baffling.
"The mantra of the guillotine: A bankster cut in time saves people nine."
re That repugnant liar in a pants suit ...
Ol' Crusty?
Ol' Bottom Heavy.
Well trying to convince middle America that what we really want is a lighter less beastly, more MIC loving, teensy weency less government boot on our neck republican is what the media is all about. They believe their line of shit so much that they convinced theirselves that Christie was a threat and blew their wad too early. It's too much for them to even consider a republican even though the entire lot of them are sold out to the oligarchs just like the Dems, this his how absolutely fence post stupid they are in the MSM and why they stroke the shaft and swallow the gravy of their masters. There is shit on all of them, they just get their targets and orders over wine and cheese at the Hamptons.
If he has the goods why not show them now?
I mean really, it should be: "He knew, and here is the proof."
High School Friend: Hey Christie, I got this envelope of "originals" you don't want public. Pay me $X and I go away.
Christie: F**k you.
NYTimes: Christie's high school friend has proof!
Christie: Let's trade envelopes, mine has $X in it.
Will have to wait and see how this pans out!

Smells more like he's angling for immunity for providing info detrimental to CC.
I can see tomorrow's headlines:
"Port Authority official found by side of road on New Jersey Turnpike, after triping on his shoelace and then over a 4 foot fence, then tumbling down a 40" embankment and falling on his stiletto .... eight times ... an apparent suicide.
Nah in New Jersey that's death by "natural causes"
It's all Obama's fault.
Really, CC has been Obummer's lapdog since, let's see now, FOREVER!!
DaddyO
Nothing is ever Obama's fault, the MSM makes sure of that.
Banzai7 pic of Christie with a fork stuck in him in 3. . . 2. . . 1. . .
How come this guy couldn't close a few lanes down in Atlanta, where they really needed to be closed?
It ain't over until the fat boy sings... er, I hear him warming up now.
Hey Chris, nows a pretty good time to spill whatever dirt you got on Barry.
How bout the theft of 4 trillion from savers over the last 3 years....that's not big or good enough.....fucks sake
heavens, no, because that's not a problem to him
What does Christie have to do with the federal deficit?
His food bill, by the looks of things.
I remember from one of the Chris Rock routines something to the effect: "Noone hates black people, but everyone hates a nigga". Well let me make an analogy to Chris Christie: "I have nothing against overweight people, but I can't stand that Fat Condescending Self Righteous Fuck". I am so thankful and relieved that I won't have to listen to that Fat Selfish Fuck during the next Presidential campaign.
"You can never be too obese or shut down too many lanes."
But Christie is a big fat fuck Republican and Obama is a clean well spoken black man. There can be no comparison! Besides Obama meant well, I'm sure, and Christie is just a fat fuck Republican, right? People who really love us must lie to us everyday, for our own good...or so I'm told.
Nah, they are all fucking bags of shit.
Some people just love a good beating and continue to come back because they hear promises that this system is not the one that is fucking them over and over.
Meanwhile, rights evaporate and government power increases.
The final act will be a statesman who promises that if you give him the power he needs, he will use that power to free you.
Then it is boxcar time.

You and I don't always agree 100%, but I agree 100% with that.
I almost can feel this collective yearning to be rescued from where we are now.
Same thing that went on with Bush, and Clinton. People get tired of being fucked by the same puppet, they like variety.
They need saviors.
How about this: What if they threw an election and NOBODY came?
Then how can they run around doing the "work of the american people" if we willfully tell them we no longer respect their authority.
It doesn't have to be violent. Just remove your consent.
Avoid debt, shun the fuckers. Wrench in their system.
As long as people think that DC is the wellspring of happiness, this will not change.
All these fucks are on the same team. They just play different positions.
pods
Me too!
It's a given. Seems Madison was the last hope.
Ah yes, a "savior". Are you saying Obama isn't charismatic enough to fill that role? We know he is termed out of the presidency, but then again we have never had a Emperor before.
Nah, he is B list.
Actually it is my sincere conclusion that we will in fact never have a coup where we have an emperor, king, dictator, etc.
The election system and democracy is the biggest thing they have going for them.
Think about this:
What would happen if people not only realized their situation, but also realized that the system that put them there was incapable of changing it?
Voting is the opiate of the masses, not religion, and not, well, opiates.

Maybe he will do a Bill Clinton and run his wife for Empress. Politically it would be tough to trash a black women (other than on ZH that is). I can see Boehner, teary eyed with his head in her lap once she finishes scolding him for speaking out. Obama would have never been elected if he had been white. To be a minority and a women is almost untouchable as a democrat. A republican black women would be portrayed as a crack whore in the media, a puppet of white corporatists. Ultimately the media will decide who will lead us, to heaven or hell.
Shitlery/Wookie 2016. "What difference does it make!?"
It's not as hopeless as you think. The Egyptians threw out the dictator Obama tried to give them, so there's hope. And Putin told Obama to fuck himself so there's hope. And the establishment media is losing it's grip on messaging, so there's hope still.
Nah, he is B list.
Agree, they're all just front men. Props to throw rocks at, to divert attention from the real operators of this Wurlitzer.
Don't vote - it only encourages the bastards.
It it's true = political...career...over.
Maybe, but probably fit right in on Wall street.
Scratch goon #1 for 2016
Political career? You have got to be fucking kidding me. This sloven SOB is a poor excuse for a person, nevermind a statesman.
Good luck voters.
pods
Voters..... Lol.
Mindless automatons, more aptly named the FSA...
DaddyO
Diebold does my voting!
Do sharks eat whales?
The Clintons strike again! Foster, Brown and now Christie.
Although Clintons are rejoicing, many Dems are devastated as they may not have two candidates to choose from and now Hillary may now have to go up against a Republican.
don't sweat it - there are no 'republicans' left anymore, so it will just be some RINo that wouldn't make all that significant of a difference.
"republicans" just run democrats out on loan these days.
The Weiners have the firewall, right? Maybe Huma was digging around some for her old pal Hillary.
You stupid fat fuck- all you needed to do was tell the truth, and you were IN...
Actually what he needed to do was have a healthier (heh) outlet for his pent-up high school revenge fantasies.
Free Jon Corzine... oh wait. Nevermind.
Being a Democrat has it's advantages.
Sorry forgot the modern idiocracy equivalence factor, it's all the same. Shutting down 2 lanes of a highway is no different than embezzling millions of dollars from clients.
Chris Christie. New Jersey. Par for the course.
Nothing to see here. Move along. Move along.
YUP. This is news because ya know, NO FUCKING OFFICIAL EVER blew the whistle on BARRY O'S wonderful track record!
This just in, MSM is product of corporate message control. </sarc>
The gay negro is backed by TPTB.
The fat white boy is not.
If this surprised anyone, you're in the wrong place.
Put him out to pasture. Let him forage until hunting season.
Will it be the New York or the New Jersey Port Authority that will search for Mr. Wildstein's body in the river, after he commits *contemporary suicide*?
Nah, Mr. Wildstein will become a shining light in the DNC.
Sometimes a banana is just a banana, everybody knew about lane closures, when the lanes closed pissed off people called their reps including the gov, its why, what was Christy told by whom when?
No smoking gun here, no evidence of governor gult YET.
Only the NSA knows the truth and they're staying mum, in spite of this act (intentional lane closures for political punishment) fitting the federal definition for terrorism.
I guess this is what passes for investigative journalism these days. Two lanes closed on the GW! Scandal!
Fast and Furious, MF Global, Benghazi, IRS scandal, NSA scandal, Obamacare, etc., etc., etc. Move along. Nothing to see here.
Obama on top of it all during the government shutdown made it as painful as possible on everyone with all the monument, sidewalk, parks, and roadway blockades he could muster. No question their is a double standard with today's media.
"Fast and Furious, MF Global, Benghazi, IRS scandal, NSA scandal, Obamacare, etc., etc., etc. Move along. Nothing to see here."
Those topics are all too complex for the majority idiocracy. "He block lanes, cause traffic jam. Me relate to that. He bad."
Update: NYT stealth edited lede from "has evidence..." to "says 'evidence exists'...". Also buries the fact that Wildstein was the one fired by Christie and therefore has absolutly no reason to want some payback. The Times article was written by Kate Zernike, a reliable Democratic partisan hack (i.e. "respected journalist") who is evidently the go-to-girl at the NYT when you want to plant a hit piece.
Sure it was stupid & Christie is an obnoxious self-serving asshole, but until anyone cares about the NSA, IRS targeting, 9/11/12, I could care less if he personally went out there pulled his size 56/30 pants down and took a shit on the hood of every car caught in the traffic jam.
Hmmm. Why did I just get a boner?
+1000
This comment will have me laughing all night.
Kick the fat fuck out of the Super Bowl suite.
Oh my! We get to watch FEMA fail to save lives as immense amounts blood and bullshit spew out of blubber boy, engulfing the tri-state area! First, the polar vortex, then somebody guts Christie. Those people just cannot catch a break.
Maybe he should head west - dry out there if he's leaky/
Hey, I thought todays meme was DROUGHT - at least in the MSM, whaddaya covering this assclown for.
Good another big fat crook busted, and hopefully done. Now all that's left is to see who the big fat crook is that will replace him.
Good riddance to another leftist
Question 1: Would you consider Mussolini to be a "leftist" today?
Question 2: If the answer to Question 1 is "No", then would you prefer a Mussolini?
From the classic American perpective, fascists, commies and all forms of Socialists and statists are on the left.
Were you trying to be funny? You know, in a sarcastic kind of way...
At times like this I don't whether to laugh with you or at you....
You don't get it because you don't know shit, Flak. It went over your head. Like Al Gore on his private jet.
Don't you have a Intelligent Design Rally to run to? Jesus is calling for you...
mr wildstein? another one of the chosen people hired for a smear campaign
wonder if he was a big Christie supporter, not that it matters really.
Fun with parsing:
a supporter of a big Christie
or
a big supporter in the line of Christie is big???
Have I got worms or
Is he a Fat shite?
Short lasagna.
Anything to keep the focus off figure skating.
There's no skating around his figure. Ba-dum-bum!
Stick a pitch fork in him, he's done.
I would urge caution against that action, no need to cause the water table there to rise again after the last storm surge.
Another round barkeep! Free Crispie Kreemz for all and deep fried schizzle for the fat assed guvnuh!
This is better than watching As the World Turns as a kid.
Christie became frends with Obama. That worked well. He was a republican hopeful. Looks kike with the democrats help he blackballed himself. Anyone that's a republican can forget about him.
The democrats are laughing all the way to the next election.
Looks like Hillary wins the next election. A continuation of the Obama/Clintion legacy.
I wouldn't put too much money on Clinton yet. The Democrat nominee needs the support of blacks to get the nomination and to win.
Can't see blacks thronging to vote for an old white crone. More importantly, Obama will still have a lock on the black vote and who they support. Obama does not want his "historic" presidency being upstaged by being bookended by "historic" husband-wife presidencies. Nor does he want a successor who owes him nothing and is likely to be antagonistic towards him.
Look for Obama to support a Biden or Kerry candidacy and put the black vote behind them, with the aim of having a successor who owes his position to Obama.
Remember, everything Obama does is about Obama, nothing else.
They'll vote for her if Moochelle is her running mate. I'm already seeing Clinton/Obama 2016 stickers on the Priususses of California.
Negroes been voting for old white crones for decades. They voted for the first black Prez. They sure as hell will vote for his wife too. Bank it.
He should take a lead from TO mayor Rob Ford and just apologize or say he was in a "drunken stupor" and drive on...easy!
Rob Ford
- public drunk
- cell video of him smoking crack
- associated with assorted drug dealers
- latest is supposedly having friends in jail beat his ex brother-in-law half to death
All he does is say sorry and stare straight ahead. After a while people get tired of asking you to resign and then you can go to the bar and get hammered. No Biggie.
A longtime High School friend? Hmmm. Seems more like a case of "hold your enemies close" so you can pounce on them when the perfect opportunity arises.
I read
"has the evidence to prove it"
Prolly a dumb question, but has anyone actually seen that evidence or is it he said/she said? I have no doubt Christie is guilty, but would rather see it confirmed with facts.
I agree. This person should either shit or get off the pot. Chris Christie is on a 15-minute break from his five-hour lunch and has to GO BADLY.
I doubt if the NYT would run this story if they had not seen the evidence. Could be under wraps at the request of the FBI.
This is uttter horseshit, even by partisan ZH standards
Given the money pissed away in various PAC, super-PACs etc... an independant air-tight investigation carried out by competant people showing BHO guilty of an impeachable offence would cost peanuts in comparison...
Much the same way, the Kochs and other other funders of the denialati are incapable of creating any internally consistent, scientfically rigourous demonstration that AGW is not real...
You see there are some things that money cannot simply buy...
Um.
Please read, and if necessary, re-read what you just wrote.
Maybe you should reread it....
Unless of course you are harping about the typo in rigorous, if so mea culpa....
BTW, The research that resulted in the original hockey stick by Mann et al. cost maybe $150,000....
Christie won 't be ordained for 2016. They'll toss out Rubio as the controlled Candidate, and Rand Paul for those that still vote and still have a shred of hope that voting actually does anything.
The nation fucking hates Frank M. Davis Jr., and wants him gone, so the Establishment will give us Hillary Vs. Rubio or some such nonsense, Christ maybe that other Bush turd. Anything can happen, and the media will do their thing.
Either way, it's going to be revolting and amazing to watch.
"Either way, it's going to be revolting and amazing to watch."
Revolting, yes. Amazing, no. Will I be watching it? No.
Are they keeping this "evidence" where theyre keeping the "Assad using chemical weapons" evidence?
